The possession PM thread:
Path-Shaper, on 07 May 2014 - 05:51 AM, said:
Pran Chole, your body has been possessed by an unknown assailant! This may last up to the end of tonight.
You are not allowed to post on-thread or vote anymore. Your assailant may do so using your own body. The usual reveal rules apply to your assailant, so they can't modkill you (if they break the reveal rules, they will be modkilled but not you, Pran Chole).
Both of you can reply to any PMs conversations you have. However, only the assailant may submit night actions for tonight.
At the same time, only the real Pran Chole may choose relinquish/registration orders.
I'm trusting you both to play along fairly, but if you see something that is against these rules, let me know.
Have fun!

Hey Pran, how are you doing? Sorry about possessing you (seemed to be an unlikely role to end up with but unlike you my contract choice list had every contract in it) but hopefully it'll work out for the best. Nice find on a low poster - I don't like low posting smooth scum. Better check what your contract terms are actually hadn't I
Pran Chole, on 07 May 2014 - 06:21 AM, said:
Okay so we need to vote for whoever PS specifies. PS has gone to bed without saying who, or telling us todays contract order, shit.
It's Messremb here btw
Edit: I'll mark the PM as unread each time I post in it so you know when I have. Time for bed now though.
Pran Chole, on 07 May 2014 - 06:57 AM, said:
Argh, can't sleep.
Any thoughts as to who you want to target tonight? (I'm assuming you don't want to relinquish the role, correct me if I'm wrong)

What does that underlined part mean?
As for who to do a find on, beats me, haven't thought that far ahead.
This is Shinrei. What's your alt?
Pran Chole, on 07 May 2014 - 05:06 PM, said:
Urgh, I hate mornings (even if it is the afternoon) sometimes. Got a huge shift at work coming up too so not sure how much I can be around today - partly hence me choosing you as a low poster for possession as well as what I thought were matching (ish) posting times
To answer, underlined means I looked in your PM and saw you only put two choices in for contract - seemed a little optimistic to me when I got into you first thing. I thought about it later and realised that of course it made more sense because when it came to your selection time the field had been narrowed somewhat. For my contract I submitted a list of every contract in preference order on Saturday so no matter what was taken before it got to me I would still have a choice in and not miss out on one, I was in 5th place yesterday so it was me, someone, you. Can probably deduce who that someone was from posting times on thread but I really don't have time to go into that right now. Also sure maximum of 4 scum although I'm inclined towards 3 or maybe even 2
You haven't been told where you stand in choice order should you relinquish, it may be worth you raising that with PS as well as who we need to vote for, I daren't start posting much at all until we know who we need to work at building a case on
I'm Rhyllandallaraaas by the way, will try and sneak some signal in to you to prove it. No promises though till late as I'm quite limited by what I can do on my phone at work. The double post at Day start is proof of that. I'll probably go with formatting or post header information, people may be wising up to my style there though so need to think on it.
If you want to relinquish and claim another contract do feel free to do so, I'll be gone from your body soon enough and it shouldn't affect the rest of your game beyond knowledge gain today. What I'm aiming to do is jump into a body every other night, read their PM and find scum like that or spread knowledge of who isn't scum - ideal would be getting someone with a lover convo via the Fog Generation contract - sure they're town and an established link to someone else.
The good thing about Possession is that only I can post as the alt, if you see a post by an alt saying something like "I'm scummy mcscummerson and my friends are x, y and z" or whatever I can get D'rek to let me get away with, lynch that alt (and also me because I die with the alt I'm possessing and will CF) and talk thread round with info from here - you're allowed to bring stuff from these to thread I believe - to nail the remaining scum.
I'm considering another low-poster for my next possession, I should have more time on my hands Friday/weekend so any thoughts of suspicious alts? I don't want to risk disrupting the what looks like solid game played by the more vocal players so someone mid-field?
Edit: and there goes most of my posting time this morning. Will try and get some on-thread stuff in in the next few hours
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 12:34 AM, said:
I will not relinquish the contract as yet. As I will not hold to any sort of pre-made list of finds, the easiest way I can communicate to you who I have found is by way of signalling.
Going forward, including tonight's find:
On my first post of a new day, look at the second paragraph. The first person I mention will be the one I performed the find on. If they are scum, I will include the word "scum" somewhere in that same paragraph. If they are not scum, the word will not appear in that paragraph.
I ask in return that you devise a signal to me to indicate what alt you are currently possessing, and also if they are scum or not (if you're not able to reveal it overtly).
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 01:13 AM, said:
You also need to post as me a bit.
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 05:22 AM, said:
Sorry, work is hell - currently 12 hours into the shift and got a meeting in 3 hours time to prepare for. Will try and put aside some time shortly.
PS - who is the alt we have to vote for today please, this is a remuneration requirement so we cannot obey if we are not told
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 05:25 AM, said:
Unless possession nullifies it?

Yes please.
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 07:25 AM, said:
Quick pop in to say "aaaaaaaaarrrggghhhh!"
I'm free in 4 hours now which is I think after you head off. Got anything you want me to say? If not I'll come up with something low-key to stave off modkill till you get back online. I'll also devise and post code in here for my finds too so it'll all be there when you arrive. Sorry again, this last day has been loooong
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 08:20 AM, said:
Just make up some BS about being slammed at work. (Which blows, because today was an easy day and I could have contributed).
But....
It's actually true, if you think about it.

Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 08:25 AM, said:
Oh, and maybe figure out how to use both your regular alt and this alt to get attention away from Hentos, since we know he's innocent. Maybe include your code in those posts.
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 10:54 AM, said:
Hentos is going under the bus, and with it my first find.
ME and MY big work day. ME ME ME
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 03:31 PM, said:
Sorry, I'm running on major sleep deprivation
So coding; I'm going to jump into either Korv or Anthras, not 100% sure which yet; I can handle the extra posting required tomorrow. I'll call you out for low posting today from whichever early on to signal final choice. Day 4 the alt I'm in will perform a bit of a review of your posting to date. i don't expect we'll last long enough for another night but if we do then go for the alt to swear at seeing the cfs from night
Future results; yours look very sweet
I'll go with 1st post of the day mentioning town or scum - ignore the alt names, the first of town or scum mentioned in a post after the identifying one is the one that alt is *not*
Hentos is past the point of saving - the Anthras vote would just add confusion too should have found time to post more - good call on the modkill extension
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 03:37 PM, said:
Hentos is also a smug bastard but what is he implying? Damn, I need your brains alongside me Shin, wake up!
Pran Chole, on 08 May 2014 - 04:20 PM, said:
I am so confused right now - Hetos is looking less likely though
Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.
